Get off I-64 at the Grayson exit, turn onto Rt.7 toward Grayson. Continue on Rt.7 to Rt.1661 and take it to the right. Follow it until you reach 4 Mile Creek (just before the blue bridge). There will be a Church of Christ on the right. Take the gravel road in front of the church and follow it behind the church to the top of the hill. The road is very steep. At the top of the hill there will be a meadow. The cemetery is on the right in the woods. There is barbed wire around the cemetery and a gate at the road into the cemetery. The cemetery sprawls over most of the hillside. The graves are widely spread out and there are lots of briars.

The cemetery began as a cemetery for the family of and on the land of Charles Kitchen and was and is called the Kitchen Cemetery. It was also called the Grayson Area Cemetery, and the Leon Cemetery, as the death certificates of some of the people buried here have those names as the burial location.
